James Goenner, Executive Director of the Center for Charter Schools at Central Michigan University, was
kind enough to provide the study team with details about several of the center's policies and practices.

The eight authorizers participating in the development of this guide and the case studies on which it is
based were generous with both their time and attention to this project. We would like to thank those
who were instrumental in coordinating and participating in the site visits that inform the case studies
and this guide:
